Isn‘t it kind of ironic that we complain about ChatGPT not being „creative“ enough on a thread complaining it fakes academic papers? How can the same bot be limited to only produce „facts“ and at the same time would be useful to generate great „fiction“?

But I completely agree with you: it’s often spitting out boring stuff. And yes, it makes almost everything up based on language statistics and similarities.

Perhaps, we are just in a hype cycle? There are lots of specialty tools and bots available based on GPT-3 customized for different tasks. Complaining that ChatGPT or Bing+ aren’t equally suited for every task gets tiresome. Especially if more than 2/3 of the examples simply follow the pattern „junk in - junk out“.
